As a physician, I enjoy the challenge of helping patients with complex foot and ankle problems including arthritis, tendon disorders or ruptures and sports injuries. I believe that successful outcomes in foot and ankle surgery rely on establishing a physician-patient relationship by taking time to listen and understand the concerns of the patient as well as set appropriate expectations through patient education.
I am board-certified in orthopedic surgery by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons specializing in surgery of the foot and ankle including minimally invasive surgery of the foot and ankle, ankle replacement and fusion, Achilles tendon disorder, foot and ankle ligament repair, Charcot reconstruction, sports injuries of the foot and ankle and many other conditions. I earned my medical degree at Temple University School of Medicine, and completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at Temple University Hospital and a fellowship in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery at Duke University Hospital. I am currently a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Duke Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, Alpha Omega Alpha.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters as well as playing golf, BBQing and cooking.

“Dr. Lachman and his team are phenomenal! I couldn't have asked for a better doctor to put my left ankle back together.”

“This was a consultation to JAMES LACHMAN to find a plan for very arthritic feet. The doctor does not recommend surgery at my age, but I felt as though I came away with a plan to try to manage pain and to walk better. He was an excellent doctor and I was pleased with the visit. I'm being measured for a brace and will try to become steadier.”

“The staff is amazing. I was highly impressed with Dr. Lachlam's scheduler who was outgoing and was eager to accommodate my needs. I had to call her a few times with questions and she always got back to me. I also have to commend the on call weekend staff. I spoke to a nurse who followed up with me several times to let me know she's waiting to hear back from the doctor, and once she did hear back from the doctor, she gave me a thorough explanation of my concern. I regret not getting a name. She was outstanding!”

“The MA who always takes me back(since surgery) is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Lachman is very informative. Shows the xray 's and explains in detail how the ankle is progressing. I think it is amazing the little amount of pain there was. Also, how well it healed with doing my own therapy. Thank you to all staff, this has been a learning experience but they took wonderful care of me.”
